Google Adwords

What a nightmare

I recently decided to finally use my google adwords account, did my research for my webpage (not this one) keywords, started the campaigne, added my key words, and submitted. 1 hour later campaigne dissapproved. The reply was read site policies. So I did, I went over googles adwords site policy and could not figure it out.

So I wrote a letter to googles adword team, and the first letter said I was not abiding by googles adwords site policy. To re-do my website and then contact them again when my site was ready.

I sent another letter, stating that I have went over site policy and still feel my site was following their policy. 1 hour later I got another email from googles adwords team. The letter then went into detail why my webpage was not google approved. Thank you to the guy who cared enough to help me understand.

My webpage stated by google was a "bridge page". A bridge page is a website that has a link to another website that I make money off of sales. Well 80% of affiliate marketers and that is low balling, has bridge pages. The second rule is even though my landing page for google adwords had no bridge links, however subpages on my website had bridge links and that was not acceptable.

The only thing that I can think of doing is linking my original website to a new created second website that is then a bridge to my money site. The question then is if I have a link from my first webpage to my second webpage, that then links to a sales page would this be considered a bridge site that bridges to another bridge site. hmmm.. But then I would have to make even more sales because not many people are going to follow all links to finally get to the money page. So all monies I spend in adwords will need to be less than all sales made for me to profit. hmmm tricky one.

Remember those books you read as a kid. When you get to the bottom of the page it says if you want to do this go to page 4 if you want to do this go to page 10. Yes that is what it reminds me of.

I will have to check on that. I know for many adwords is their main money source. And since I am just wanting to use adwords, I am guessing I will need to read up more or find a good program. Because google is more strict on their adwords policy, and also what we read will be different from the next guys understanding.
